OUR LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP

PLEASE BE WARNED THERE IS AN IMPLIED REFERENCED SUICIDE HERE ,It NOT GRAPHIC BUT IT IS THERE.

Wen Fei, a 35-year-old who came from a humble background, has made a name for himself in the world of medicine. His reports and theses on psychology have garnered him many awards and promotions. What no one knows is that he stole these works from others, recognizing their potential when they did not. This is the reason for his increasing wealth. His position now grants him more access to others' work; if before he could only steal small ideas from his peers, now those working under him and seeking his advice practically hand them over to him for free. These people dare not speak up because who would believe a nobody over a renowned genius doctor?

Despite his dishonesty, Wen Fei is good at his job and smart enough to keep his secrets hidden. He has always avoided crossing the wrong people, only stealing from those with humble backgrounds like his own or worse. His success and everything he built seemed to be going his way until he met Cheng Xiao. She was incredibly beautiful, even with a scar running down one side of her face. Wen Fei, acting as a gentleman, helped her when she had nowhere to go. She told him that Xiao Zhan, a patient of his, had caused her scar. Tearfully, she claimed no one else would help her. As a gentleman, Wen Fei stepped in as her hero. It didn't matter if Xiao Zhan was innocent; having a beautiful woman like Cheng Xiao on his arm would only increase his popularity in his social circles.

But now, in front of him, his carefully built world is crashing down. Upon learning that he had offended Wang Yibo, Wen Fei immediately packed his bags, planning to escape to a remote country where he would be hard to find. He thought he could come back after a few years. But now, watching the breaking news that exposed all his past actions, with people he stole from testifying against him, Wen Fei knows he is finished. This is Wang Yibo's doing—no one else had the power to destroy his life so quickly. After all, it wasn't the first time he had been accused of stealing others' work, but now everything he built is falling apart with just one word from Wang Yibo. Wen Fei can see the eyes of the people at the airport staring at him and whispering. In that moment, he feels an unwelcome laugh building up within him. He starts with a giggle, then erupts into full-blown laughter that brings him to his knees. Even when the police appear, he doesn't stop laughing. Suddenly, he realizes his face is wet—it must be tears. He can't believe he can still cry. Then he remembers what Cheng Xiao said as he was leaving: "Do you know why I'm not trying to run with you? It's because there's no escape. I have nothing else to lose, but you and Jiang Cheng still have a lot." He remembers thinking she was crazy and replying, "You might be stuck here, but I just have to get out of the country before Wang Yibo finds me." She looked at him with a pitying gaze and laughed. He left her laughing, and now he realizes that she knew what she was saying. Now he has lost everything.

Cheng Xiao watches the news exposing all the crimes Wen Fei ever committed and feels that Wang Yibo acted very quickly. In just a few hours, Wen Fei's life's work is finished, with no one to save him. Who would save anyone that Wang Yibo has marked as prey? Although Wang Yibo is not as powerful here as he is back home, his influence has been steadily growing. Cheng Xiao smirks to herself. Even though she has no escape, she still feels victorious for having hurt Xiao Zhan. She can't help but snort at the thought. It had been painfully obvious that Wang Yibo had fallen in love with Xiao Zhan after they spent that year together before he returned. Only Wang Yibo and the Jiang family were oblivious to it. Cheng Xiao hated not only Xiao Zhan but also Wang Yibo—those people born rich and having everything, while she had to work hard to gain even a little part of what they had. She experienced the difference in their lifestyles when Wang Yibo thought she had saved him. The privileges she had then gave her a love-hate complex with Wang Yibo. Sometimes she hated him so much she could kill him, and other times she loved him. That's why, instead of leaving when she realized he had fallen in love with Xiao Zhan, she manipulated him, filling his head with lies. She wanted him to hurt Xiao Zhan, but she also wanted him to hurt himself. The sense of victory she felt when she saw him living like a zombie after making Xiao Zhan leave because of her, but not knowing why he felt like that, was beautiful to her. He was obviously in pain, but he had no idea what the root cause was or the cure for it. That day when he asked about the necklace, it wasn't that she couldn't pretend it belonged to her. After all, he was like a madman questioning her, but something in her wanted to see what he would do when he found out the truth. Would he break? But apparently, she underestimated him. Not only did he not break, here he was, trying to play family. Well, she couldn't let his life become monotonous and boring. She smiled even as several men in black suits entered the apartment. She couldn't help but think, as she downed the last of the poisoned wine, whether Wang Yibo would pity her after she died, whether he would regain the little feeling he had for her back in high school. People buried her body, but her mind knew it was an illusion. He had never felt anything for her, even back then. It was just to make Xiao Zhan jealous—a boy pulling pigtails with the person he loved. She felt so cold, wishing someone would hold her in a way her family never did because they were aware of how truly vicious she was. But she also wanted someone to love her, even with her flaws.
